As The New York Times puts it: “The emotional core of The Green

agency, and his Israeli handler.”

Wednesday, December 9 7:30pm-
A Talk with Professor Ghil'ad Zuckermann

Language, Religion and Nationhood in Israel

One of the problems facing those attempting to revive Hebrew as the national language of the emerging State of Israel was that of Hebrew lexical voids. The revivalists attempted to use mainly
internal sources of lexical expansion, but were faced with a paucity of roots. Consequently, they changed the meanings of obsolete Hebrew terms to fit the modern world.

This infusion often entailed the secularization of religious terms. This lecture explores this aspect of Israeli cultural linguistics and socio-philology, casting light on the dynamics between
language, religion and identity in the culture wars of the modern Israeli state.

The lecture will be held on Wednesday, December 9 7:30pm at 358 West Huaihai Road, Building 5, Apt 2002 (near Anshun Road) /淮海西路358号5楼2002室近安顺路.

Tablet magazine calls the film a “….gentle, nuanced portrait of the young men-teenagers really-who fight to defend their country, sometimes because they believe in the cause and sometimes because
they have no choice.”

Admission is 100 RMB which covers two drinks.
A light bistro menu available to order.

Wednesday, November 18
7:30pm- A Talk with Professor Gail Hershatter

"The Girl Who Burned the Banknotes, and Other Tales of
China's Rural Revolution"

What can we learn about the Chinese revolution by placing a doubly marginalized group—rural women—at the center of the inquiry?
And how does an examination of collectivization in China help us to understand the rapidly changing countryside today?

Join us for an interesting talk with Gail Hershatter, distinguished Professor
of History and East Asian Studies Co-Director at the University of California Santa Cruz, who is currently a visiting professor at Fudan University.

Drawing on a decade of research in rural China, including life history interviews with more than 70 women, Gail will talk about
changes in the lives of women in rural Shaanxi province during the early decades of state socialism, the 1950s and 1960s. Gail will explore some unexpected lessons in the story of a former child
bride who became a women's activist. Did rural Chinese women have a revolution? If so, when, and what sort of revolution was it? Such questions encourage us to consider others that
preoccupy historians: when is gender a useful category of historical analysis? How is the historical record shaped in interactions with the present moment? What counts as an event worth
remembering? Who gets to decide?
